Born Vera Welch in 1917, Dame Vera Lynn's career began at just seven years old when she sang professionally in East End Working Men's Clubs. A successful radio career with Joe Loss and Charlie Kunz in the 1920's and 30's followed - but it was with World War II that she became famous. With her radio show 'Sincerely Yours', Vera connected emotionally with the men fighting for their country and became known as 'The Forces' Sweetheart', performing the songs she will forever be associated with - 'We'll Meet Again' and 'The White Cliffs of Dover'. She toured Egypt, India and Burma with the Entertainment National Services Association (ENSA), bringing the troops a sense of 'back home'. Her career after the war flourished, but Vera never left behind her wartime role, and is still heavily involved with veteran and other charities. This is her own extraordinary story of her life. D4B.
